Give flowers while people can still smell them.
Say thank you in Slack, Microsoft Teams, or Web without filling a 7-step HR form. Add a personal message, tag a company value and include Kolas from an eligible giving balance when you want to give a little extra.
How praise feels in your channels
Test giving flowers below. Real Slack interactions, genuine team vibes.
Adaeze Nwosu recognised Tobi Adeleke for:
“Tobi stepped in during the payment gateway migration this weekend, calmly debugging the settlement webhook and keeping client partners reassured throughout.”
Company Giving Allowances
Make appreciation a habit. Company administrators fund Kolas and manage monthly giving allowances. Check the balance available to you before adding Kolas to a thank-you.
Custom Values Tagging
Ground recognition in what your company actually stands for. Tag values like #DeepGrit, #ExecuteWithSpeed, or #ChopKnuckle to bring cultural principles to life.
1-Click Message Praise
Someone resolved a critical bug at 9:00 PM? Don't copy-paste context into another tool. Click the three dots on any Slack or Teams message, choose “Recognise with Kola,” and confirm.
Never overlook the quiet heroes who keep production running.
In most companies, recognition naturally flows to the loudest talkers. Kola provides managers with private coverage prompts: “You haven't acknowledged someone on QA or DevOps in 21 days.”
Gentle nudges keep appreciation balanced across departments, helping managers remember the quiet contributors who keep everyday systems running smoothly.
👋 Manager nudge: Kunle in Infrastructure shipped 3 zero-downtime migrations this month with zero public shoutouts.
